Rated 5 out of 5 by Allyb423 Amazing!
I was given "hope in a jar" mositurizer as a gift and i absolutely fell in love with it! I have pretty oily skin so anything too heavy can sometimes make me look shiny. This product made my skin feel even, smooth, and radiant. It felt very light and not at all suffocating or goopy. I use this product before I put on my make up and after I wash my face before i go to sleep. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a new and improved daily mositurizer!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hannah5000 Great for my skin, don't love the scent
I received Hope in a jar as part of a gift set. I was initially put off by the smell, but kept using it because I didn't want to waste it. :) I use it morning and night because it is summer. I really notice a positive effect on my skin after using it as part of a Philosophy skin regimen for several months now. Negatives are the smell, which only lasts for a minute, and a momentary feeling of burning in my eyes after I apply it to my cheeks, because they are sensitive. Positives are that I rarely have pimples anymore (that's awesome because I am 31.). I also notice fewer clogged pores when used with the micro delivery exfoliator. The scent and eye burning is better with the "Renewed Hope in a Jar" version, and I plan on using that when I am done with my lotion.

I absolutely love this product and would and do recommend this to all women! I always had problems with moisturizers being too heavy and hot but this is so light you don't even feel like you have it on. But it works, and well! Hope in a Jar Night is a great compliment as well! I love the both of them!

Rated 5 out of 5 by SaraCinSunnySD My go-to-no-longer-buying-anything-else-moisturizer
So, first off let me say Yes, this product smells weird. I like my face products to smell yummy too, y'all, & this one doesn't -- which is disappointing. That is the ONLY thing wrong with it, so I figure Oh well! if it works, it works & I'll deal with the smell.
I suffer from allergy-prone skin, which makes it more sensitive to itching and break-outs and those deep ouchy under-the-surface blemishes that I swear I can't leave my fingers alone from touching. I have discovered I am allergic to chemical sunscreens & can't use moisturizers with ANY spf & this formula is the lightest, airiest, most wonderful dream of hydration my skin never knew existed. I used to think I could not have both hydration & a very lightweight, absorbent moisturizer that didn't cause irritation & break-outs. Until I found this...my holy grail of moisturizers! My skin has changed hats throughout my twenties & thirties & has become very oily to combination-oily with wrinkles yet still acne prone. It's frustrating so I keep looking for a one-size That doesn't mean I haven't tried to find something better & have suffered from this tendency I have to want to try new skincare products but every. single. time I have an issue, I return to this product & IT UNDOES THE DAMAGE. So why do I continue to try other things? Because I'm an idiot that likes make-up & beauty products, but ya know, I always keep a pot of this to use to repair my wayward fancies.
My favorite use is for @ Night: purity, micro-delivery wash, clear days ahead acne wash, (yes, I know that is a lot of cleansing) serums & eye serum/cream of choice, Help Me, & this specific Hope in a Jar. BOOM. I wake up with the BEST. SKIN. EVER. Every time.
Only other thing is that the jar always cracks a little at the top...weird...minor grievance, really. I like the new jar for the Renewed Hope in a Jar but that product is greasy, yuck! No renewal for me on that one...
